Rude Awakening--WWB ammunition prices.
- Thread starter JohnKSa
- Start date
Just went over to the Wal-Mart by my work and the WWB stuff did infact go up there to pretty much like everywhere else. However the CCI Blazer Brass is still the same as it was last year hahaha
9mm was something like $6.47 for 50 rounds
40s&w was around $7.67 for 50 rounds
45acp was still $9.47 for 50 rounds
I think I'll go buy it all when I get off work at 7am

I lived in on post housing in the US Army back in the 80's. Married but no children. So we lived in what was basically a two bedroom apartment. The wife didn't want to "give up" the spare room so I put all my reloading stuff in a single closet. I built a little bench that fit in the closet with the door closed. Put in some shelves for components. I spent a lot of hours sitting in a chair in front of that closet and it worked just fine! Lee Turret Press.

After reading this thread, thought i'd scope out Uncle Wally this past weekend while shopping for food supplies.. OMG !!!! The ammo case was bone dry EMPTY !!! Talked to clerk and was told that the glass had broken so all ammo was sent to the back room. On the price label, was WWB 9mm 100ct boxes for $14.59. So asked if she had 10 boxes....About 10 minutes later she came walking from the back with 10 cradled in her hands.... did not use a cart....also did not have a very pleasant look on her face...

I could kick myself for not seeing this coming...
About 4 years ago, I bought 1500 rounds of 9mm CCI at Academy for $2.99 a box. I thought about buying some more, but I figured the price was stable.
I shot about 2-300 rounds of my stock and decided to get another 1000 rounds, but balked when I saw the price had gone to $3.99 a box.
Now they want $6.99 a box, and that's a steal compared to most everything else available...
Wish I'd have been less stingy and bought a few thousand rounds at .078 a round when I still could!

ammo is nuts these days. I hadnt purchased ammo since 2004 and when I looked at prices, mainly 5.56, it had doubled for 1000 round cases of q313A and the xm193. Ive stocked up on surplus powder and have been loading my own to save some $$.
Not to be a smart a$$ or anything - but - why (with the cost of transportation <fuel>) is an increase in price on anything a "rude awakening"?
Just be thankfull you don't have the nicotine habit - - I should say "welcome to my world".
2 years ago a carton of cigarettes was around $12.00.
Now they are over $40.00, and going up.
I'll give you all a real head's up tip...
It's still early enough to plant a garden.
You think ammo costs are high? - wait till you see what happens to produce prices in the next few months.
